We cater for students with differing needs from Foundation to Year 6 and our students come from diverse cultural backgrounds. We provide a structured, supportive and motivating educational environment where every child will experience a stimulating curriculum with challenging and achievable goals that will meet their needs.  PE, Arts and Kitchen Garden Program are our current specialist areas and a Japanese.  EAL, Language Support and Library support a rich literacy program.

Our school focuses on quality teaching and learning and our highly experienced teaching and non-teaching staff are dedicated to developing each child to their full potential. Strong emphasis is placed on a team approach to planning, implementing and evaluating all of our programs.  Data and evidence is key to driving school improvement. 

Our school and parent community have a shared vision for all students at our school. Through positive role modelling and co-operative learning our students respect the rights of others, act in a responsible manner and strive for excellence at all times. We equip our students with the skills necessary to build positive social relationships, to work and learn in teams and the strategies to manage and resolve conflict.

Family-School partnerships are encouraged and actively sought for the benefit of our students. These partnerships are based on trust and mutual respect for the role that families play in a child's education. A Community Hub is based at the school and provides strong links between home and school.
